Study Notes
Data Backup
- It is important to keep backups of program and data files in a safe place.
- Decide on a time frame for how long these backups should be kept.
Security of Equipment
- Security measures should be taken to protect physical parts of the computer and its equipment.
- These measures could include:
- Safe and secure location for equipment.
- Measures to prevent theft or damage.
- Prevent unauthorized access to data.
Business Ethics
- Business ethics are principles, values, and standards that guide our actions.
- They affect how we perceive ourselves and our relationships with others.
- These principles apply to information technology in general and computer information in particular.
- Ethical concerns can be found in the data collection process or in accessing this data.
Computers and Moral Motivation
- Computers are incapable of feeling emotions, or having motivations to steal or embezzle.
- This differs from human workers who may prioritize their personal interests ahead of the company's.
- The computer itself cannot act with self-interest.
### Computers and Monitoring
- There are no inherent disadvantages in using computers for monitoring.
- However, there are potential issues with users of the computer's core components, such as data input.
System Documentation
- System documentation is an important part of computer security and good practice.
- There are two main elements to documentation:
- Procedure Documentation: This outlines the system's overall plan, including processes, analysis standards, program development standards, testing procedures, and operating and security standards.
- System Documentation: This includes user manuals that describe the purpose of the operating system. It may also include system flowcharts, input descriptions, and output descriptions.
